About Our Private Dining

Author and Columnist Robert Ruark once wrote that sometimes the only way he knew what was going on politically in Washington, DC was by how the photos were arranged in the Occidental Restaurant. With legendary appeal, Occidental Grill & Seafood has been an integral part of Washington DC political and entertaining sphere for over 100 years and remains a quintessential DC dining experience of historic proportion.
Noted for its impeccable service and exceptional cuisine, the Occidental will be an unforgettable setting for your event.

Today, the Occidental continues to be associated with Washington's power circles and is heralded as the place to be seen by a new generation. With stately dining rooms and gracious hospitality, Occidental is the definitive DC experience.
